That is it from this entertaining game. We will see you again very soon. Buhbye for now!

The bowling for Sussex was not good to start off but they had come back well in the second half to restrict Hampshire to less than 200. But as it turned out to be, a batting line up heavily dependant on Wright came a cropper again! Lot of thinking to do for the Sharks. Hampshire on the other hand will be delighted with another win.

A wonderful opening stand between Vince and Rossouw, some guile-filled leg breaks in the middle overs from Crane and dose of yorkers from Kyle Abbott ensure Hampshire score their second win and make it two out of two in the South Group. Sussex remain winless and again had some fight from Wright, who backed his ton from the last game with a fifty today. But others did not stand upto the occasion and despite a late surge from Wiese and Evans, Sussex fell short by 19 runs.

Kyle Abbott to Laurie Evans, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

8.2

Afridi to Ross Taylor, SIX, sits down on one knee and clears the deep mid fence by some distance. The tonk sound as the ball met bat made it clear of the mood that Ross Taylor is in today. A flat ball again and the batsman had his intentions clear

Berg to Brown, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

3.4

Kyle Abbott to Chris Nash, out Caught by Rossouw!! The yorker a ball earlier softening him up. And the follow up delivery makes him lose his timing. The umps seem to be talking, perhaps for the legality of the catch. Couldn't get cleaner. A pitched up delivery and Nash looks to play it off the full bat face and through the line. But doesn't get the elevation. Checks his drive at the very last moment, for mid-on to gobble it up with a dive. Chris Nash c Rossouw b Kyle Abbott 21(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

Kyle Abbott to Chris Nash, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

2.2

Berg to Chris Nash, 1 run, a drop and take off. Wrists it just past the pitch and takes off

2.1

0.1

Topley to Chris Nash, no run, swing. Back in as it shapes banana like on the fullish side on off. Driven off the outside half to cover

Chris Nash and Luke Wright are at the crease. Chris Nash is on strike. Topley will open the attack

That was a quick break. Here we go. Topley with a slip..

So, 188 it is. In an innings that was all carnage to start off, the Sharks have done pretty well in pulling things back towards the end. At one stage when Vince and Rossouw were going bonkers, it looked like 200 was only a formality to get started and launch further from. But Jordon and Jofra pulled things back with a few well-executed yorkers and all the variations in their kitty to keep Hampshire down. Nevertheless, 188 looks pretty good but so does Sussex's batting line-up and this track. A fascinating chase in a bit..

19.6

George Garton to Carberry, 1 run, straight up. Into the sky, and it dips and drops where no one was. Looks for a sitting slog, skies it up to mid-on. And then hares back for the second, drops his bat too at the point of turning around. All happening here. And that is one-short reckon the umpires

19.5

George Garton to Bailey, 1 run, the slower ball. Well disguised. Bailey drags it away in the form of a waiting slog to deep square leg

19.4

George Garton to Carberry, 1 run, opens himself up. Backs away and hacks it on the bounce to long-on

George Garton [3.0-0-34-0] is back into the attack

18.6

Jordan to Carberry, 1 run, cracked away to extra cover. Keeps the strike as Jordan bowls out - 4-0-29-1. Near perfect, given how the game has gone thus far

18.5

Jordan to Carberry, 2 runs, shovels the ball, the slower ball. Minus timing. Off the toe end and a forward dive at long-off isn't quite enough to pluck it in the end

18.4

Jordan to Carberry, no run, another walk away. This time Jordan goes wide outside off. Opens the bat then and looks to ramp it psat the keeper. Misses, all ends up

Jordan to Carberry, FOUR, lofted. And dropped. The wheels are truly falling off the Sharks here. Jordan ain't amused either. Long-on runs across, gets both hands to it and lets it pop right out. What's worse - rolls away too

Jordan to Carberry, FOUR, another across the line heave. Gets one on the pads, off a half volley and wristed away in the air and into mid-wicket

18.1

Jordan to Carberry, no run, stays rooted to his earlier stance. Swishes. Takes it on the pad. Pitching down leg and striking Carberry well down leg as well. Not even a scratch of an appeal

17.6

Jofra Archer to Bailey, no run, deceive now. With the slower one. Too early on the swing, just missing the sticks as well

17.5

17.4

Jofra Archer to Carberry, 1 run, a full toss now. On the abdomen and dealt with a knock towards mid-wicket

17.3

Jofra Archer to Bailey, 1 run, half a chance. Bailey searches for his timing as the ball pops out without his liking off the toe end on his flat bat. All Archer manages is a half a left hand

17.2

Jofra Archer to Carberry, 1 run, more of the move-aways. With a stab square

16.5

Jordan to Bailey, 1 run, drives onto his pad before it runs down to long-on. First runs

16.4

Jordan to Bailey, no run, the double bluff. Strenghtens his straight field and bowls the short one. A touch late to get onto it is Bailey as the ball sneaks under the flat bat

George Bailey, right handed bat, comes to the crease

16.2

Jordan to Afridi, out Caught by Brown!! That's the tickle. That's all the Boom Boom we are getting tonight. Short, banged in, cross seamed as it climbs in with the angle. Afridi commits to the pull and doesn't hold a cell of his body back as he goes through with it. A faint kiss on the under edge to a diving keeper. And Afridi walks. Afridi c Brown b Jordan 5(5) [4s-1]

Jordan to Afridi, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

16.1

Jordan to Afridi, FOUR, a missed yorker. And a missed fielding too. Oh sloppy. Ended up as a low full toss and slapped away to extra cover, who lets the ball go through. After crashing into his knee cap

Chris Jordan [2.0-0-11-0] is back into the attack

Jofra Archer to Carberry, no run, ends the way he starts. Courtesy a searing yorker. Jammed out, just about

15.4

Jofra Archer to Afridi, 1 run, slowed up on the hips. Turned away around the corner

Shahid Afridi, right handed bat, comes to the crease

15.1

Jofra Archer to James Vince, out Bowled!! A peach. An absolute ripper. And gets the better of Vince, the man with all the timing. Walks away, and before he could realize the zip in the yorker to jam his bat in the way, the base of middle is breached. Nevertheless, a near-perfect innings this. James Vince b Jofra Archer 81(48) [4s-10 6s-3]

14.2

Will Beer to James Vince, 1 run, another backing away. With a flay, through point

14.1

Will Beer to James Vince, SIX, firm, flat, and all the way. Yet again. Right on the cushions it is. Moves away, gives his arms the breathing space and carts it over mid-wicket

13.6

Jordan to Carberry, no run, a drill. Mistimed going a touch too hard at it and losing all his timing in the process. Hammered to mid-on

13.5

Jordan to Carberry, no run, a surprise full toss. Takes Carberry by surprise as well with the height on it and straight bats the defence

Will Beer to Rossouw, out Caught by Jordan!! First blood. Finally. Runs down once again, not as close as he'd have liked this time but doesn't bother adjusting or holding himself back. Mistimes the heave and the outside half goes down the throat of long-on. Doesn't help that he was going against the wind and against the turn too. Rossouw c Jordan b Will Beer 46(31) [4s-4 6s-3]

9.6

George Garton to Rossouw, SIX, the hack is back. This time to get on top of the bounce and deposit it well over deep square leg

9.5

George Garton to Rossouw, leg byes, FOUR, a massive appeal. Gets Hampshire a boundary instead. Tailing back in, strikes Rossouw on the front pad as he goes for a full bat swing. Misses and the ball ricochets to run through the cordon. The appeal cut down, thanks to the line sliding down

9.4

George Garton to Rossouw, FOUR, the top-edge now. It never matters when it goes this way. Looks for the typical death slog, and the ball runs through the cordon. 180d-degrees to the other side

9.3

George Garton to Rossouw, no run, the bumper. Rossouw stays away looking to claim the extra. Doesn't get one

9.2

George Garton to Rossouw, FOUR, opens up the foot. Throws it away in fact. And swings the mighty blade in tonking it down the ground. All the way too

George Garton [2.0-0-18-0] is back into the attack

8.6

7.6

Wiese to James Vince, 1 run, a lot calmer in the approach this time for a nurdle off the hips

7.5

Wiese to James Vince, FOUR, the leading edge. The streaky one. That's all it was. But the outfield takes over and with the big bat too coming into the picture to take it all the way. Closes himself up a touch too soon in looking to wrist it through the on-side. The cover ropes are found instead

7.4

7.3

Wiese to James Vince, 1 run, more of the straight bats this time as he strokes it down the ground

7.2

Wiese to James Vince, FOUR, too straight now. Too easy. The wrists now take over after the bottom hands. In getting himself inside the line and tucking it away. Past fine leg

7.1

Wiese to James Vince, FOUR, all bottom handed. Ah, the enviable handle. Refuses to move, reads the slower cutter off the fingers and waits in going for a uppish jab. Mid-wicket it is..the fence of course

4.4

George Garton to James Vince, FOUR, that was a bowler killer!! The bowler ducks in his followthrough and so does the umpire Jeremy Lloyds. It was missiled back as the batsman stamped it down the ground with a flat bat. A length ball and was thumped down

Shahid Afridi had a dream game for Hampshire in the last game as he ended up picking up 4 wickets. Similarly, Luke Wright scored a valiant ton against Glamorgan where his team went down by 18 runs. But all to play for as two points are up for grabs.

17:51 Local Time, 16:51 GMT, 22:21 IST: In the last three years, Hampshire have a 6-1 record in T20s against Sussex. The points table is in its nascent stage to reflect anything but Hampshire are at number 2 and Sussex are the wooden spooners for the moment being thanks to a win and a loss respectively in the only game that both have played so far.
